MALFUNCTION DESCRIPTION
The hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly monitors the high-voltage wiring between the HV battery and inverter with converter assembly and detects an open circuit malfunction.
This DTC is differentiated from P300449 based on detection timing (after power switch is turned on (READY)). If P300449 is also output at the same time, first perform troubleshooting for P300449.
If there is a SMRG stuck open malfunction, only P1C8449 is output.
The cause of this malfunction may be one of the following:
Voltage sensor (VH or VL) malfunction
Motor generator control ECU (MG ECU) malfunction
Communication (wire harness) malfunction
HV battery malfunction
HV battery junction block assembly malfunction
Inverter with converter assembly malfunction
High-voltage wire harness malfunction
High-voltage connector or connection malfunction
Hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly malfunction
HV battery junction block assembly malfunction
Low voltage wire harness malfunction
Low voltage connector malfunction
Refer to the description for DTC P0AE411.
| DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | MIL | Warning Indicate | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P1C8449 | High Voltage Power Resource Circuit Short during Ready ON | High-voltage circuit malfunctions between the HV battery and inverter with converter assembly.
The voltage before boosting continues to be out of the HV battery voltage range or the integrated value of variation amount of the voltage before boosting for a specified period of time is large while the power switch is on (READY). The EV electric battery fuse in the service plug grip is blown, the service plug grip is removed, SMRB or SMRG remains open, or the high-voltage cable has an open circuit. (1 trip detection logic) |

The following items can be helpful when performing repairs:
Ready Signal
After repair has been completed, clear the DTC and then check that the vehicle has returned to normal by performing the following All Readiness check procedure.
When clearing the permanent DTCs, refer to the "CLEAR PERMANENT DTC" procedure.
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
Turn the power switch off and wait for 2 minutes or more.
Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.
Turn the power switch on (READY) and wait for 3 minutes or more. [*1]
According to the display on the GTS, read the Data List and monitor the values of "Hybrid/EV Battery Voltage" and "VL-Voltage before Boosting" for 3 minutes. If the difference between "Hybrid/EV Battery Voltage" and "VL-Voltage before Boosting" is always less than 50 V, the vehicle has returned to normal.
[*1]: Normal judgment procedure.
The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Utility / All Readiness.
Check the DTC judgment result.
If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE, perform the normal judgment procedure again.
Refer to the wiring diagram for the HV battery high-voltage line circuit.
Refer to the precautions before inspecting high voltage circuit.
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control, Motor Generator and HV Battery / Trouble Codes.
Check for DTCs.

Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
With the vehicle stopped, apply the parking brake and turn the power switch on (READY).
Perform this test with the AUTO function (shift-linked function) of the electric parking brake system off.
If the power switch could not be turned on (READY), turn the power switch off and check for DTCs after turning the power switch on (READY) again.
Because P300449 uses 2 trip detection logic, the DTC detection conditions need to be met 2 times.
When the parking brake indicator (red) is illuminated after the electric parking brake switch assembly has been pulled to the lock side, the maximum amount of braking force is applied if the electric parking brake switch assembly is pulled to the lock side one more time.
Ensure the safety of the areas in front and at the back of the vehicle.
Move the shift lever to D and depress both the accelerator pedal and brake pedal at the same time.
Depressing both the accelerator pedal and brake pedal at the same time causes the HV battery current to flow and ensures that there is no problem with the high-voltage wiring.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Trouble Codes.
Check for DTCs.
